Conversion Corner (Big and Small)

[DarkElf27]

Here's my WIP conversion for my Tyranid Prime. I pinned all the leg joints to give the Warrior a taller, more upright stature.











Next up, greenstuffing the gaps and deciding where to nick scars and add horns or vents as necessary.

Impressive! surprised

Thanks. smile Now I need to get the joints greenstuffed and decide whether to put it on a regular base or something custom.

Nothing yet, I've been working on the troops the last week or so. I realized I have 15 Devourer guns, so I can get a legal squad of Devilgants by converting a pair of my two-piece Gants with the extra Devourers.

Hive Tyrant, complete with custom extended base. I unfurled the Lash Whip and extended it, otherwise pretty vanilla.  

[Thoritforoth]

I have taken an interest in my Adepta Sororitas army and have made a Final Fantasy 7 Conversions of Sephiroth and Vincent Valentine.

I'm going to use Sephiroth instead of Saint Celestine and Vincent will join a unit of Seraphims as their superior officer.

Those are pretty nifty, what did you use to convert them from?

I used Dark Eldar Scourges parts, some greenstuff and some bits part that I had lying around 3nodding

Next minor technical conversion, making the hull-mounted guns on Leman Russ swappable with a combination of pins and magnets. Since they turn rather stiffly, I'm going to use a single centered magnet and two pins above and below to stabilize it. We'll see how it goes!  

[DarkElf27]

As discussed... I used a ball bearing in the gun itself to save on magnets, and that also prevents issues with polarity.

 

[DarkElf27]

Note to self: ball bearings do not make a great magnetic surface for any single-point connections like arms. The connection is not as good as two magnets to each other because the surface of the magnet is not flush with the spherical steel bearing. As result, arms tend to droop and come off more easily. It might work out for multi-point connections (such as using several to connect a Tervigon belly or such), but no such luck for infantry.

Not my work, but I saw this and my jaw dropped a little bit. Epic!
